About
An experienced multi-medium storyteller, Melanie balances creativity and curiosity with a left-brained approach.

She joined Direct Development in 2021, where, among other focus areas, she has devoted her time to developing and honing the company’s brand strategy offerings for both higher education and nonprofit organizations.
Melanie the Consultant is passionate about employing a holistic approach to everything she does, quality, making a measurable impact for her client partners, and, above all, understanding people. Melanie the Person likes to rock climb, is working on a fantasy novel about superheroes, and lives in Delaware with her husband, corgi, and cat, George Catstanza.
